Every time my system crashes (BSOD), I get the message “Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation.” It used to generate minidumps normally, but now nothing gets saved in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
Verified system is set to create kernel or small memory dumps
Made sure there’s enough space on the C: drive
Checked permissions on the Minidump folder
Ran SFC and DISM (no corruption found)
Still no luck. Any idea how to get Windows to start saving dump files again after crashes?
My Windows 11 PC is stuck in a CHKDSK loop on startup. It keeps running scan and repair every time I boot, but never finishes or lets me log in normally. I’m worried I might lose my data if I force shutdown too many times.
I’ve already tried:
Letting CHKDSK run completely (no success)
Booting into Safe Mode (still triggers CHKDSK)
Startup Repair (didn’t detect any issues)
Is there a safe way to stop this loop and recover my files before something goes wrong?
Getting a Bad Image error (0xc0e90002) for MicrosoftSecurityApp.exe every time I try to launch Windows Security on Windows 11 (24H2). It says something like the file is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error.
I’ve tried:
Running SFC and DISM (no issues found)
Restarting the PC
Updating Windows
Nothing has worked so far. Anyone else faced this? How do I fix or repair this specific error?
I was checking my system settings and noticed that Secure Boot is greyed out in my BIOS. I’m using Windows 11 Pro (24H2) and the system is running in UEFI mode. TPM 2.0 is enabled. I didn’t set any BIOS password, and there’s no option to toggle Secure Boot.
Has anyone figured out how to fix this or enable Secure Boot when it’s greyed out?
Yeah, I tried on iTunes already ..nothing shows up. Guess it’s past the easy fixes.
Before you shell out, try plugging it into a Mac or PC with Finder or itunes open. I’ve seen phones that look completely dead still show up in recovery mode. If it does, you can update or at least back up.
But if it’s not even being detected, board repair is your best shot.
Ummm..pretty much, yeah. They’ll usually do a “temporary repair” (replace or bypass the dead parts just to get your phone to turn on). Look for board level repair or iPhone data recovery places in your city.
Most decent ones won’t charge if they can’t recover anything. Just avoid the too-good-to-be-true ones; this stuff needs specialized gear.
So should I be hopefull? Apple basically told me I’d be better off recycling it. How do I even find one of those labs? Are we talking “strip the phone apart” kind of repair here?
My iPhone X died like that last year ..turned out it wasn’t the logic board but the power IC that failed. Apple told me it was “beyond repair,” but a local data recovery guy pulled my photos. They basically bypassed the dead components to get it to boot long enough to extract stuff.
So my trusty iPhone 13 just straight up died on me yesterday. No warning signs, just powered off while I was using it and now it won’t turn back on. Tried the usual stuff..force restart, different chargers, even left it plugged in overnight..nothing.
I already got myself a new phone, but all my photos, random videos, and some voice memos I never backed up are stuck on the old one. I’m kind of kicking myself for not setting up icloud properly.
Is there any realistic way to get my data off it? I’m cool with paying a bit if that’s what it takes, just don’t want to waste money if it’s a lost cause. Anyone been through this?
Thank you sooo much buddy @SilasVane..your response gave me hope as my phone does still power on.. I can feel the vibration and all. Just can’t interact with the screen or unlock it.
I never really used a Mac so mirroring’s probably not an option for me, but maybe I’ll check out one of those tools you mentioned. Thanks for once giving me a bit of hope
One of my friend used an iphone data recovery tool on her laptop.
She said it scanned the iphone memory directly and even found stuff she thought was long gone. Not sure what tool she used, but I remember it worked with broken screens and all that.
Just saying… even if the screen’s toast, as long as the phone’s powering up, there’s still hope. Might be worth checking out some trusted desktop tools that specialize in iPhone recovery. They’re usually safer than all those YouTube hacks.
THATS EXACTLY ME RIGHT NOW!!
Gonna dig out the old laptop and see if it still shows up when I plug it in. I didn’t know the “trusted device” thing actually made a difference like that.
I faced this situation 2 years ago when I literally googled every possible “iPhone dead screen transfer hack” at 2am
If the phone was trusted on your computer before, that’s your golden ticket. Even if the screen’s unusable now, your computer might still recognize it.
Try this:
1. Set an admin password in BIOS → reboot → Secure Boot should unlock.
2. Turn off CSM in the Boot tab.
3. Make sure BIOS is in UEFI mode and your drive is GPT.
If it still doesn’t work, update your BIOS.
